Great for pictures and light home office printing
on July 8, 2022
Posted by: ShawnInKB
It has a nice, small footprint on my already crowded desk, which is good.
The setup process is all online so no paper instructions or DVDs to deal with. Mostly simple but it only covered putting in regular paper. I found a YouTube video on how to load and print a photo. There are a few odd steps to get the printer into “photo mode”, but I will say it does a nice job printing them.
I will use it for printing about 20 pages of paper per month for work, but mostly I wanted it to print photos and I’m happy to say it does a nice job. The photos are crisp and it’s surprisingly quick (at least for a 4X6 photo). However, when I printed from my computer (just a basic .jpg photo) it would only print with a white border for some reason, but when I printed from my iPad, I was able to get a borderless photo.
The printer itself feels a little flimsy and the plastic is thin. I feel like I need to be gentle when I pull out the paper tray. I would give the construction 3 stars, and the photo printing 4 stars.

Speedy versatile laptop for personal or business
on June 21, 2022

Super crisp display. Only item to note is the screen is a bit reflective if the brightness isn’t all the way up.
Touch screen is very responsive. Fingerprint reader works well and great for a fast secure password free sign on.
Touch screen is very responsive. Fingerprint reader works well and great for a fast secure password free sign on.
Camera works great for zoom and teams calls and nice that it has an integrated camera simple to use privacy shutter.
Sound is excellent. When using the laptop for music out of its speakers, you'll feel the base while typing on the keyboard. The speakers are actually under the laptop so you don't cover them up when typing.
With other laptops with a touch pad mouse I've sometimes have had issues with the touch pads picking up my thumbs and hands while typing and errantly moving the mouse around, but that hasn't happened once with this laptop - a major plus for me.
Keyboard is very low profile and it has back lighting that you can turn on/off. Function controls are off by default (meaning the alternative use like sound volume, mute, brightness, etc. are all the default behavior which is nice so you don't have to hit the FN button all the time.) The power/fingerprint button is upper right next to Delete. I've hit it a few times trying to hit delete (and puts the laptop in standby), but I'm sure I'll get used to that the more I use it.
The keyboard platform and mouse platform are "full size" as far as laptops go, which gives you a full platform for your hands to rest on.
Installation / setup was super quick. Took less than 10 minutes from out of the box to online and using it. (Note I skipped the MS Office trial setup as I have a subscription already so that may have saved some time.)
Comes with Windows 11 which is a nice clean update. Hard drive space wise it has 412 GB free out of 458 GB out of the gate.
Everything runs fast so far and it boots in about 10-12 seconds and with the finger for password option you get in and running very quickly.
Only minor thing I’ve run into so far was the Dell support assistant (installed by default) wouldn't connect and update the Dell drivers. Fix was easy though – I just uninstalled the support assistant and then reinstalled from support.dell.com and it worked and updated a few device drivers.
Overall very happy with this machine!

Settings for every beard!

Gender:Male
This trimmer has a ton of setting/length options! I really like rotating the dial to quickly set to the length you want. There's multiple plastic guards to jump up to the next size settings and a fine trim work attachment.
Motor is strong and it trims very well. It didn't snag at all and using it without any attachment for line work was comfortable on my skin and produced nice tight lines.
It is ergonomic, fits well in my hand, and was comfortable to use.
It’s easy to clean (waterproof, so just run it under water).
One note is they recommend you oil the blades before and after EVERY use. This seems a bit overkill to me, but I’m guessing the point of that is to add to the lifespan and sharpness retention of the blade.
Only thing I felt it is missing is that there doesn’t appear to be a travel setting to keep it from accidentally turning on in your suitcase, but the button is a little recessed and it comes with a soft travel pouch. Haven’t traveled with it yet, so we’ll see.
Overall pleased with its versatility.

It takes serious water power to clear debris — meet one of the strongest cordless engines on the market: the BURST Water Flosser. With three settings and three 360-degree rotating tip options, you can massage your gums, precisely spray between teeth to dislodge bacteria, and give plaque the boot.

Easy to use portable water flosser
on May 5, 2022
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
This is a good portable option if you’d like to travel with a water flosser or just don’t want a more bulky unit on your bathroom countertop.
I don’t have overly sensitive teeth, but I felt the Turbo and Standard modes were a little too much pressure for my back teeth. These modes also crank through the water quickly in about only 20 seconds! It’s a toss up here on size vs. performance. I get that they needed to keep the reservoir to a small size for travel, but you will have to fill it a few times each time you use it.
For me I prefer the pulse setting (the lowest setting), and because it pulses a little slower, that gives me more time to move to the next tooth. I’m usually able to get through my whole mouth with 1 to 2 fillings of the reservoir depending on how much “clean” I need.
Note that it has a proprietary charging cable to make the unit more water resistant, but be sure to keep it in a place you won’t lose it. The charge lasts supposedly up to 4 months, so you shouldn’t need to travel with the charging cable.
It looks good and is stylish if you’d like to keep it on the counter.
Also practice a bit and it gets easier and less messy to use. First couple of gos, I had water splashed EVERYWHERE :-) but it’s much better now that I’ve got the hang of using it.

Well thought out and easy to use Wi-Fi lock!
on May 5, 2022
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
I’ve had a few Wi-Fi locks before and so far this is my favorite. Very well thought out features and some advantages over others I’ve tried – more on that a bit below.
Installation was straightforward and took me about 20 mins. The only issue I had was during the lock calibration it took a few tries. I’m not 100% certain, but I think the issue was that I only opened the door a few inches during the “unlock and open door” step of calibration. (Trying to keep our cat in, but when I opened the door a few feet, the calibration worked correctly.)
App was easy to setup and quick and painless to add our house members with their own code as well as our neighbors and our dog sitter.
It has auto lock and auto unlock features (we work from home and go in and out a fair amount, walk the dog, etc. and I’ve found these features to use the batteries more in other locks. I tested them here and they worked fine, we just prefer to leave those off.)
The keypad was easy to install and worked perfectly. The lock is very quiet, so I didn’t even hear it open/lock while outside, but it works great.
The phone/app alerts fire quickly (“Pet Sitter name, has opened the door”) and they appear on my phone within a few seconds.
Advantages over some other locks I’ve tried:
It’s a lot sleeker and thinner than some of the other locks I’ve tried. It also shows the battery level in app (also an advantage over some others.) Wi-Fi was easy to configure and setup (this also has been an issue for some other locks I’ve tried, so well done here.)

Nice streaming / video call lighting
on January 27, 2022
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Nice small footprint. Lots of color options that can be set in the G Hub app. Mount works well and takes just a few seconds to setup. I have mine off to the side on a 2nd monitor so that I'm not looking directly at the light.
Definitely evens out my camera lighting and am pleased with the warm options. (See with / without light pics).
Only con (really more missing "nice to have") is that there isn't the ability to set a hotkey combo for switching lighting profiles or turning the light on/off. You have to do that in the G hub app. (just a few mouse clicks.) I reached out to tech support to ask about this and they said if you have a Logitech "G" keyboard or mouse, they have the capability to assign a "G" key to do that, so it is possible with the right hardware.

Great "silent" mouse!
on January 19, 2022
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Lightweight, precise, comfortable and QUIET! This mouse was a great upgrade from my wired mouse to more easily use when sitting or standing with a standing desk. It's a little smaller than my wired mouse, but very comfortable to use (see pic).
It is remarkably quiet (no "click") which is great not only for presenting, but also for recording. I record a lot of presentations for work and this elimates the clicking noise when I have the microphone gain up.
Setup was quick and easy - plug the dongle in and go. The small dongle also can be stored in the battery compartment, making it easy to use as a travel mouse.
Bonus - very easy to open scissor free packaging with 2 little tabs on the back (see pic).

Clean water in a small package
on December 29, 2021
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
Nice footprint and easy to use. Water tastes clean after a (long) cleaning cycle which is the primary goal / purpose for me for this bottle to clean hotel or airport water while traveling.
Pros:
Water tastes good after the (long) cleaning cycle
Small footprint that makes it easy for travel
Charges relatively fast
Water tastes good after the (long) cleaning cycle
Small footprint that makes it easy for travel

Cons:
Takes a really long time to clean your water (4 mins 58 sec). Often when I fill my water bottle I’d like to drink from it. 5 mins is a long time to wait for it to clean the water.
Takes a really long time to clean your water (4 mins 58 sec). Often when I fill my water bottle I’d like to drink from it. 5 mins is a long time to wait for it to clean the water.
Reminders to drink. Guess this might be a nice feature for some but I found it especially annoying at night as the super bright white blinking reminders light up the bedroom every 2 hours at night. After 2 nights of waking up to this I contacted support and they advised me to shut down the bottle at night. So an extra step to remember every night (short press followed by a hold until the light blinks to tell you that it’s off). I don’t like this extra step (followed by having to turn it back on in the morning?). Why can’t you just have an app setting to say “don’t try and remind me to drink at night between X hours while I’m sleeping” in the app, but the app really has no settings.
The app - a place for you to manually enter when you drink water (a bit silly in my opinion why is there an app?)
The charger has a small proprietary magnetic connector. If you lose it or leave it in a hotel room, you have to buy a new one. Not sure why they went this route vs. just a USB C or USB micro connector. Thankfully it doesn’t need to be charged often because I don’t need yet another proprietary connector to carry around and lose.
Overall water tastes good in a smaller package than some of the other models out there, but lots of room for improvement that they hopefully solve in an update or with the app.

Expecting this to be easier to use...
on November 24, 2021
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
When I was a teenager, my dad’s Polaroid instant camera was one of my favorite photography toys. I loved the softly muted prints and the little edge to make a note of the date and people in the picture. Because the price per picture was steep, it was a special photo that was taken with the Polaroid. I had the same feelings of nostalgia when I first got this new Polaroid camera, but I have been disappointed with the picture quality and film expense so far.
I thought that I would like using the app to be able to have more control over the picture quality, but the app is a bit difficult to learn and not intuitive to maneuver. And while there is a timer, you can’t see and set your picture inside the app so when you set your camera down (or put it on a tripod) you then have to hope you are in the right position when the timer clicks the picture.
The lenses are fun to play with, but don’t really do much besides tint the picture. The time it takes for the picture to “develop” is quite long at around 10 minutes. (So much for the instant gratification of watching your film develop in front of your eyes with the vintage Polaroid camera!)
The flash must be really weak because if you are more than 2 feet away from your subject (so RIGHT in their face), your picture will be dark and forget about using it indoors. I wasted the entire first pack of film just trying to get the lighting to look normal.
So in summary, if you think this will bring back any joy you had with the vintage Polaroid camera, think again. I don’t recommend this if you want an easy, nostalgic Polaroid camera.

Quiet! Works well for our bedroom
on November 12, 2021
Posted by: ShawnInKB
from Kure Beach, NC
It has 2 settings for high or low cool mist steam. The unit is very quiet and the optional blue night light is thankfully “optional” which works great for us because we like the bedroom dark at night.
We just made the switch from “AC to heat” here in NC, so perfect timing to use this during the winter drier months.
Nice small footprint on my wife’s nightstand (see pic).
It has run all night on high setting with water still in the reservoir 8 hours later. And since the tank is small, it’s not as heavy to fill with water and carry across the bedroom.

4 out of 5Best fitting case / issue with power button crack
By ShawnInKB
from Pottstown, PA
Overall a great case as long as it holds up! 1st one got a crack at the power button within 2 weeks. The plastic there is just too small/not sturdy enough and I barely used it. You almost never even use the power button because it automatically comes on and off when you open and close the case. Lots of others had this same problem. On my 2nd one - 2 weeks in (so far so good, but being really gentle with it just in case.)
Otherwise a great case. Good viewing angle, great form factor, super light so it doesn't bulk up your iPad air. Keyboard takes some getting used to and keys are in weird places, but much better for typing than the on screen keyboard. Nice slim package, lets you type better, easy access to the camera, power, and charging port. Good viewing angle. Note the only slimmer full case was the OEM Appple iPad full case which I tried 1st, but it was worthless. The only viewing angles on that one were basically flat and 90 degrees so not usuable at all. Go with this one instead and careful with the area of plastic by the power button.

A few days after I wrote this review, the 2nd case broke in the exact same spot at the power button. Again, never even used the power button as it isn't needed. Serious design flaw. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I actually have 3 questions. Is this device gfi protected? Can I control each outlet separately? I’ve yet to see a straight answer on that question What are the current and temperature ratings for the device?
No it is not GFCI, but most places require outdoor outlets to be on a GFCI in that circuit so should be covered by your GFCI outlets. No, it turns both plugs on/off simultaneously. Not sure on it's temperature rating. Didn't see any details on that in the manual.- only that it is IP44 rated.

Meet Talk GO, JLab’s compact, lightweight, and portable USB microphone. With 2 studio-quality condensers and a generous resolution of 96kHz/24BIT, this is a great entry level microphone for all around use with high performance. The Talk GO has 2 directional pattern modes to choose from and has volume and mute controls, making it great for calls, podcasts, gaming, ASMR and voiceovers using its two directional pattern modes.
Does it use an aux cord
It is USB connection only for connecting to your PC/Mac. There is a 3.5 aux jack on the bottom of the mic for connecting a 3.5mm headset for listening if desired. Instead I just use the output of my PC speakers to hear others on my meetings/web calls.

Cut The Cord with AirTV Player. Stream movies, TV, music and other content using a wide range of apps, including Netflix, SlingTV, Google Play and many more from the Google Play Store all with AirTV Player. AirTV’s streaming platform integrates local over-the-air (OTA) programming with your streaming services. The AirTV Adapter and an OTA antenna provide local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, without a monthly cable bill.
I’m confused. How/ where does it get ota channels? Is there an antenna that comes with it? Similar to the digital antenna I use now for local channels? Or does it get the local ota channels and stream to device via the internet?
If you have an OTA antenna already you will be all set. Just unscrew the OTA coax cable from your TV and connect it to the OTA AirTV adapter (included with this item.) Then it will show the locals right in the AirTV/SlingTV same guide.

Apartment use. Currently have a TimeWarner modem router and an extender in living room. parts of living room are slow and gaps. will these replace the modem router and will range be better?
I would say yes. Our speeds tripled in the areas of our home that were slower (3rd floor and basement) from 20-27mbps to 63mbps.

I have a house built in 1930 and it is 1000 sq. ft. up and 1000 sq. ft. basement. I have 2 wifi extenders because of the solid brick and plaster walls to pick up better signal in dead areas. I currently have a Netgear 55 router. Would this work better?
I would say yes based on my results. Before I installed the Orbi I ran 5 separate speed tests on my laptop in various parts of our home. (3 story house - 2700 sq. ft).
I ran tests from each floor on my existing router (TP Link WR1043ND - a 300Mbps Wireless N Gigabit Router). Speeds averaged 43.76Mbps down and 4.35Mbps upload.
After I installed the Orbi, I re-ran the same speed tests in the same locations and speeds now average 62.83Mbps down and 5.80Mbps upload. Significantly faster!
The 2 spots in the house - top floor and basement both went from 28.56Mbps and 21.72 to 64.33 and 63.46 - so much better coverage and the Orbi's base + satellite coverage now provides equal coverage thoughout the entire home.
